For the record this is more or less equivelent to doing

`cmd.exe /c perl.exe test.pl $var1 $vars\\$var3`
[download]

The only difference is that the cmd.exe call will be appropriately qualified, both in terms of OS (the w9x series has a slighly different syntax) and in terms of using the correct systempath to get to cmd.exe
